Description
Sometimes, hidden gems are found: this is the case with this concert charango by Roberto Juri, one of the finest luthiers from Aiquile. Juri’s style blends elegance and simplicity, capturing the essence of refinement and superior sound quality. Crafted with a jacarandá body, a Canadian cedar soundboard, and an ebony fingerboard, this instrument stands out for its minimalist design, free of unnecessary decorations.
Rarely do you come across instruments that are so balanced and have such a structured voice. This charango will captivate you at first touch. Its treble is strong and bright, its bass is full; the overall sound is characterized by a sustain that sometimes seems almost disproportionate, as in the case of rasgueo techniques. This is why it is more suited as a solo instrument or as a melodic instrument rather than for accompaniment.
With a 38 cm scale length, this charango reveals its true secret as soon as you touch the strings: an extraordinary sound—deep, balanced, and warm, characteristic of cedar. It’s the perfect instrument for a soloist. The craftsmanship of Roberto Juri is evident in the meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality construction, ensuring exceptional resonance and an impeccable sound response.
